im going to be honest i didnt like anything about the skyrim dark brotherhood, none of the contracts ever made me feel like a skilled assassin, there was never a reward for actually being a silent assassin and doing your job with no one noticing. the whole thing could be done by some random nord with a claymore. and to make it just that much worse the leader of the whole sanctuary abandoned the old ways of the dark brotherhood and just embraced gold. she wanted me to kill the only member who still embraced the old ways, i am so glad that that cunt died

assassin's creed ftw. and honestly how easy could it have been for general tulius to get assassinated? You literaly walk in the front door and the leader of the army in all of skyrim is standing right there, unprotected...

ya i enjoyed the who done it quest your given in Oblivion and was kind of hoping for another one like that...still found the quest slightly enjoyable minus the one that was less of an assassination and more of you hacking your way through a dwemer ruin to find one guy, then having the choice of hacking your way through the rest of it or walking out the way you came

Feels like every time you do something against the Imperials, you can't help but feel wrong about it.

Like I go to Ulfric Stormcloak's place thinking he's like this badass freedom fighter whose super cool and ****, and then he's all like
"If they're not with me they're against me. If we have to crush them, then so be it."

I go to do the assassination of the Emperor, thinking he's like this tyrant asshole whose gonna cast spells at me screaming "UNLIMITED POWER"
And I get this nice old man who doesn't even try to fight.

I kind of wish there was a side quest where you could just eradicate the Thalmor from Skyrim, because that was the only real problem with the Imperials. Maybe they'll do that as a DLC, because both sides seem to kind of oppose the Aldmeri Dominion in one way or another.

As a side quest it'd be rushed. But as a DLC, I could see it. Maybe not eradicate, per se, but at the very least pushed back to wherever the Aldmeri Dominion is stationed at.
If the DLC wasn't so much a DLC but as a legitimate expansion like The Shimmering Isles.

I'm a dark elf and I will probably join Ulfric. I don't really like the Imperials, and I don't have any sort of allegiance for the Stormcloaks and I hate the Thalmor, such assholes. I would just join them for the quests to take out the cities. I love chaos. I play as a psycho out for myself, killing anyone in my way to get what riches I want. Although I am nice to the beggars and I give them some coin when I see them.

As a Nord, I picked Stormcloaks. I believed that the Aldmeri had no right to say who everyone should worship, especially for speciesist reasons.
I would always go through the Gray Quarter and sneak expensive armor I found into the Dark Elves' pockets though, so they could sell it and get some more money. I hated Ulfric's attitude toward other species, especially the Dark Elves, but I think that was better than having a whole nation be oppressed by elves from thousands of miles away.

because I thought the greybeards are basically pointless because I can use the internet to find out where to get shouts or words of power
and by the way, at least my followers can do something useful now.

I know I hate them aswell, and yes storm call, you have to go through one with the main quest line, I have done theives guild, started companions, dark brotherhood, stormcloaks and have some deadric weapons which are badass, and I have dragonbane.

that staff you were talking about must be the Sanguine Rose. the guy you met in the bee and barb is the daedric prince Sanguine. the girl should be Ysolda, she indeed told you something about a ring and a love story. go to this "fiance" (IT'S A ******* HAGRAVEN), get that **** done, then you do some other ****, bringing back a goat or something because you stole the goat and sold it to a giant. and then you go to this castle/fort, via there you will enter a strange place, walk a little further and find Sanguine. he'll give you that staff. and then you will return to the bee and barb.
derp.

do you have the mask of Clavicus Vile yet?
go to Falkreath, a guard might say something about the blacksmith and a dog. go to the blacksmith, talk with him about the dog, he'll give you some meat to find this dog in the woods outside Falkreath. when you found the dog, he'll tell you his name is Barbas and he is Clavicus Vile's pet. go to the shrine of clavicus vile, inside Haemar's shame if I'm not mistaken. clavicus vile tells you to find the rueful axe. when you found the axe, return to the shrine, you get the choice to kill Barbas or to let him live. if you kill barbas, you will get the Rueful axe. if you don't kill him, you'll get the mask of clavicus vile and barbas will return to his master.
I chose the mask.

I'm trying to get some sort of staff now, I went to Riften in the bee and the barb and I entered this driking contest, I won but passed out, and apparently he promised me a staff and I went into the temple of Dibellia and messed the place up and also I went to this girl and she said that I was taking a ring to my fiance.

ehhhh... ebony blade. a two-handed weapon.
first you go talk to jarl Bargruulf the greater (or how do you spell that guy's name) and talk to him about his kids. then you go to one of his children, talk to that kid, he'll say something about a whispering door. go to the door, talk to the door (dude what), and the daedric prince Mephala, lady of whispers, will tell you to get the key to open the door. to get that key, you have to pickpocket Farengar Secret-Fire or the jarl. open the door, there will be a room with a table, on the table is the ebony blade.

hmm... I think dawnbreaker isn't that bad.
just find the shrine to Meridia (not far from Solitude), talk to the statue (stonerhumor) and then she tells you to find Meridia's beacon. find that thing, bring it back to her and then she says her temple or something is all ****** up, so clear the temple/ruin out, and then you will receive/find dawnbreaker. one-handed weapon, especially effective on undead.

well, there's somewhere near Riften an Orc stronghold named... largashbur or something like that
you need to enter that, and then talk to the chief or something and he tells you to oh god I don't remember blablabla and then he tells you to go to a cave or something and you have to find the warhammer in the cave, bring it back to that chief, and then Malacath (daedric prince, orc god) will talk and say the chief is a lazy ****** and then he gives you volendrung.
derp.
